Based on an agreement with a biodegradable bag manufacturer, Mercado Libre will be the first E-commerce company in South America to deliver its products with sustainable packaging.
With an investment of more than 1 million dollars, Mercado Libre will make its shipments using "biocompostable" bags manufactured by an Argentine company based in São PauloBrazil.
The bioplastic bags to be used are degraded in just 180 days and instead of being used as an oil-derived manufacturing component that contaminate soil and watercourses, ecobags are manufactured on the basis of discards from the food industry such as potato starch and sweet potatoes.
Environmental awareness is growing among businesses and the packaging It's a point to keep in mind. Not just offer. a packaging at a good pricebut offer added value, in that case awareness and respect for the environment and use of sustainable materials.
